The NFL Players Association says the Super Bowl champion Chiefs have dropped the ball on player health.
The union’s report card for all 32 teams ranked the Chiefs dead last in training staff, giving them a grade of D- and saying that many players have major concerns with head trainer Rick Burkholder.
“They feel discouraged from reporting their injuries (https://nflpa.com/kansas-city-chiefs-report-card),” the NFLPA says of players on the Chiefs. “They do not feel they get the level of personal care that they should. They fear retribution for speaking up for better care.”
